When this song first started, I really liked the lyrics and it was a song that I fell in love with . I dreamed of hiding myself without anyone knowing and disappearing somewhere coldly.

• I participated as part of the 'Secret Party Master' group.[86] The 1st round stage selection was Shim Soo-bong 's <A Million Roses>, and he was the first contestant to appear in the broadcast directing award, and became the first contestant to advance to the 2nd round by recording 6 Again.

The biggest attraction of this new singer-songwriter, who has been continuously active through numerous digital singles and collaborations since the release of his debut mini album [Behind] in the summer of 2017, is none other than his 'dropping' voice.

- Yunha Kim, popular music critic

Kim Soo-young, a hot new singer-songwriter who mesmerized listeners with her melodious low-pitched tone. His 1996-born skills are unbelievable, outstanding guitar playing, excellent song writing skills, and deep and charming vocals combine everything, and he has become a hot topic in the mouths of not only music fans but also various officials.

- Eunmaro Kim (Magic Strawberry Sound)

My personal classification method is to use MBTI to distinguish between T-type vocalists and F-type vocalists, and by my standards, (Kim Soo-young) is a T-type vocalist. Even though he doesn't get drunk on his own, he sufficiently persuades the listener. There is something that makes (the listener) anxious. When I come to the part where my breathing gets a little louder, my heart starts pounding harder.

- Yoon Jong -shin / Singer Gain 3 - Unknown Singer Exhibition Jury Review

On days when there's a lot of snow in the winter, I want to turn on the fireplace, slightly open the window, and listen to this song all day long. It was a performance that made me feel so happy even if I listened to it all day. I really liked it.

- Sunmi / Singer Gain 3 - Unknown Singer Competition Jury Review

• There are songs about the attachment to the dog I raised. Representatively , One Star , one or two songs from the first full-length album < Round and Round > , and I suddenly thought of it fall into this category. All of them are good, so I recommend listening to them.
• I like the cartoon character Snoopy .
• I like green and purple. Among them, I always prefer green. During an interview in 2018, 'How would you describe yourself with color?' When asked, I said green without much hesitation, and because I wear green shoes and clothes a lot, I often certified (?) that I purchased green products during Instagram live broadcasts, and also celebrated (?) the 2023 fall season college festival on Instagram. Even in other uploads, he said he still likes green. The overall color of the document is also green.
• To communicate with fans, he created an open KakaoTalk chat room with the title of 'Singer Ball Writer' for lonely Kim Soo-young. Currently, only the fans remain, and he himself occasionally pitches. Search for an open chat room and join us. The participation code is the 8 digit date of birth.
• On April 16, 2022, 'Singer Ball Writer' was opened by changing his nickname in the Kakao Talk chat room and sneaking in, and was arrested (?) by some discerning fans.
• While recording the vocals for the single 'One Star', he struggled, but when Ohbok, the main character of the song, tried it while watching Keumdong's video, it was said that he succeeded in one take.
• 2018 On May 21st, Naver Musician League TOP100 achieved 1st place with one star (Live) song.
• He has been learning guitar since he was 18, but the first time he picked up the guitar was in his third year of middle school.[91] It is said that his first guitar was the Dame guitar. Perhaps because of this, he collects guitars, and when he gets to a certain point, he sells them through Carrot Market. He collects classical guitars, acoustic guitars, and electric guitars. When it comes to electric guitars, he does not favor either Gibson or Fender , and seems to use them alternately depending on the location even for the same song.
• At the <People, Kim Soo-young> concert in April 24, he revealed how he became quite good at playing the bass. In the early days of his debut, he had to release an album and perform, but there was not enough money to get all the band sessions, so he learned the bass on his own. It is said that part of the space was filled.
• Recently, he says he enjoys eating bagel chips as a snack.
• He said that he cannot drive a car yet , and that he tried to obtain a Class 1 regular license around the spring of 2023 in Heize's Volume Up , but was disqualified five times in the skills test (..), and it seems that it has been on hold since then.
• It seems that he enjoys drinking (?) quite a bit, and the amount of alcohol he drinks is said to be up to two bottles of soju if he is conscious .[92] It seems that he often drinks beer, and his favorite beer is said to be Edelweiss beer.
• He said that the reason he dreamed of becoming a singer was when he saw IU singing Officially Missing You while playing the guitar in Yoon Do-hyun's love letter (he mentioned that it was Yoo Hee-yeol's sketchbook, but I'm guessing he was confused).
• They say they are not good at using awkward expressions. I think they have gotten used to it recently, but until a few years ago, they were awkward with the fandom name Singer Ball, so they called them teachers, fans, and people instead. Even now, they still call them 'teachers' and use them interchangeably. ???: Thank you, everyone
• The fandom nickname is Singer Ball .[93] However, perhaps because Kim Soo-young herself is not good at saying unfamiliar things, it is mainly mentioned when fans mention each other or when fans occasionally appear and introduce the fandom.[94] As a result, when the OST Bubble was mentioned in the set list of the performance at the 2023 Big Loop Festival, the audience who had heard it responded, "As expected, all of our swimming corps members have heard it . " She said it was not the Singer Ball but the Swimming Corps. However, given the artist's revealed personality, it seems like the swimming corps is more suitable.
• The cause of death is said to have previously been written by his real name, ‘Kim Soo-young.’ However, since she felt very much like the poet Kim Suyoung, she thought she could do something cooler, so she changed it to many things and ended up with the current 'it's suyoung'.
• There is an episode related to 'it's suyoung' being used as a sign. Kim Suyoung's current Instagram account is 'itsuyoung', and her intention was to abbreviate 'it's suyoung', which is like her signature, but many fans literally understand it as 'it suyoung'. He said he was surprised. For reference, if you think about Kim Soo-young's dog Obok's account, its_obok, you can understand the intention.

• There are a few songs where fans misrepresent the title of the song. "I'm trying to empty it" and " Are you liking it ?" are similar, but "I'm trying to empty it out" is often referred to as " I'm trying to empty it, " and "Are you liking it" is often referred to as "Are you loving me? " For reference, as a twist in the interlude, in Do You Like It, there are no lyrics saying “Are you liking me”, but rather the lyrics are “Are you loving me?”
• It is said that in the first year of college, he overexaggerated. I didn't do it because I wanted to, but I received excessive support during my freshman year.[97] The silence passed for quite a long time because no one applied, and when he saw this situation, he said, 'I want to go home quickly, but no one raised their hand, so it will take an hour.' The hyperactivity was tough, she says.
• I have a teaching certificate equivalent to a practical teacher qualification. Seoul Institute of the Arts has a teaching certification course, and it appears that he completed the course.
• He is a fan of the baseball team LG Twins . I've revealed my intuition a few times through Instagram Stories. Among them, he appears to be a fan of number 8 player Sung-Joo Moon.
• I often hear that he seems easy-going during Instagram live broadcasts, perhaps because of his voice tone, but he says that he is not very easy-going in his personal life. Rather, it is said to be steamed
• Contrary to his easy-going manner of speaking, he appears to be soft-hearted, but it is hard to tell . It doesn't happen every time, but I often shed tears during various events.[98] crying baby ???: Ah haha, I really won't cry this time.
• As of January 2024, after the release of the regular album, do you like the song you are passionate about? As of January 2024, it is called Don't Cry . In addition, the representative song that he believes best represents him is “Turn and Turn,” one of the title songs of his regular album .
• It is said that they tend to release albums spontaneously. For example, in the case of Rainy Day, which was released in 2022, it did not take that long from the initial writing/composition to release, whereas the song ' No Eternity ' among the songs included in the first full-length album, Round and Round, released in 2023, was created in 2015. It's been 7 years[99] . During this time, if a song comes out that seems better to be released first, it is said that they tend to release it sooner, even if it is a song that was written later.[100][101]
• He says he likes to draw. He hand-painted all the drawings on the gifts given to fans during fan meetups.
• There is an anecdote related to painting. Around 2021-2, when performances were restricted due to the coronavirus, I felt skeptical about my job as a singer.[102] He said he discovered tattoo artistry while considering other professions. It is said that he struggled with drawing, but soon felt that it was not a good fit for him, so he quit. During that time, I opened an Instagram account for uploading pictures, but deleted it shortly after.
• As of the end of July 2023, it is said that a little over a year and a half has passed since they started to live on their own. It is said that housework is the style of doing it right away without delaying it .[103]
• He seems to use Apple products, but if you look at his Vlog, you can see a Mac studio in his studio, and he has a MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone mini, and AirPods Max that he says he uses for performances.
• At the fan meetup <Spoiler Day> on July 23, 2023, he mentioned that he occasionally searches namuwiki(!).
• She says she's interested in styling, and if you look at her Instagram, she actually seems to be interested in hairstyles, hats, and accessories. If you look at the fancam videos she uploads to YouTube, you'll see that she changes her hairstyle to match her styling for each stage, so she dyes her hair quite often. She naturally bleaches her hair during that process, so when she appears on her Instagram live broadcasts or on the radio, she sometimes talks about the condition of her scalp . It seems that she pays attention to scalp care, such as not washing her hair when she doesn't have a schedule or applying ampoules.
• He says he hates things that smell. There aren't many people who like things that smell, but it seems that he dislikes things that are left unattended or left unmanaged until they smell. As an extension of that, he is also said to be interested in perfume. He received perfume as a birthday present from the fan cafe on his birthday in 2024, and he was happy and thankful when he received it.
• It appears that he was born in Busan and moved to northeastern Seoul.
  =>Born in Seoul
  The mother went to her parents' house in Busan to give birth and recovered at Paik Hospital.
  To be precise, when he came to the festival of Seoul National University of Science and Technology in Nowon-gu in May, he mentioned that he was from that area, and he mentioned that he was born at Paik Hospital in Busan when he participated in the Busan Big Roof Festival in September 2023. Other celebrities sometimes use the dialect of their native region, but since this is not the case, it is presumed that the dialect came to Seoul before it was applied to the body.
• It is said that they do not eat spicy foods well and do not eat carbonated foods due to their food inclination (?).[104][105]
• It's anti-minchopa.
• He says he likes observing what people do. He says he sometimes goes to a cafe, orders an Americano, and observes what the people in the cafe do. Feeling like a career woman is a bonus
• Subway's favorite is the shrimp sandwich.[106] The bread is called honey oat, optional shredded cheese, sweet onion sauce with olive oil, pepper or ranch.[107]
• It seems like he often appears on other celebrities' playlists, and actress Lee Cheong- ah, who appeared in the Beatle Beatle MV, appeared because she was a fan, and actress Yoo In-na appeared as a special DJ at Lee Seok-hoon's brunch cafe, part 1 (August 8). ) introduced the song 'Round and Round' from their first full-length album <Round and Round> as a DJ recommendation song, and shared with fans that Joy of the group Red Velvet searched for ' You Do n't Know' in the middle of her Instagram feed . In November, Jay Park appeared on Heize's Turn Up the Volume follow-up , Chungha's Turn Up the Volume. He listened to Bubble, liked it, and asked whose song it was during the show.
• In the past, I liked bread, especially bean butter, but now due to health issues,[108] They say they are not eating bread with butter.[109] Since then, he has recently enjoyed eating kimchi, rice, and rice bowls.
• He says he likes certain things. Related to this, he says he doesn't like lying. Most people probably don't like lying, but he likes a certain kind of certainty. For example, when he hears a song live at a concert and asks the audience what it was like, and the audience replies, "I like it!", he says he likes to ask , "Why do you like it?" or "What part do you like?" and to be curious about why they like it and to hear the reason.
• He says his goal as an artist is to become a steady artist who makes great music . Cool already!
• In Heise's Turn Up the Volume, Hayes introduces Turn Up the Volume with a nickname every week during the opening, which seems to have created the nickname for Turn Up the Volume. Hamtori selection squirrel Plump cheeks Subbol
• They say that their ideal type is someone who is kind, doesn't mind if they wear comfortable clothes, listens to their stories well, and has a pretty smile.
• In Increase the Volume in 2023 , he mentioned that he was interested in taking care of his body and was considering Pilates .[110] In December, he said in a group KakaoTalk chat room that he was scolded because he gained 0.1kg of muscle mass and 2kg of body fat even though he had been doing it consistently for 3 months.[111]
• He says he likes collecting LPs. It seems like the music you love is well preserved on the black disc. It seems like he goes to LP Cafe quite often.
• There are many nicknames related to the ball, such as Hamtori/Squirrel and Su-ball, but I wonder if it is a nickname he likes so much. Rather than saying he likes it, he seems to have just accepted it as a motto .[112] Later, she appeared on Chungha's Turn Up the Volume and revealed that she had a bit of a complex about the round, cheek-like face shape that had become her signature.[113] It is said that she self-massages her face from time to time to make her face look slimmer.
• Singer Gain also covered a lot of guitar topics, and in the TOP 10 final, Kim Soo-young went on stage with her secret weapon, the bass, and Code Kunst said, 'I don't think I've seen anyone sing while playing the bass.'[114] When I mentioned that, I wonder if Yoon Jong Shin was aiming for something. Mention of Sting . Of course, Sting would have mentioned it because he is so famous for singing while playing the bass, but from the fans' perspective, it is a strange situation considering that Kim Soo-young played the bass when she sang Englishman in New York in her debut video, not her debut. Moreover, Ingman was treated as Kim Soo-young's representative song until One Million Songs.
• Singer Gain 3 - When giving the judges' comments after the TOP 10 final stage of the Unknown Singer Competition, judge Sunmi said that Kim Soo-young's voice seemed to have a unique power and mentioned the number of YouTube views of the first round stage where she sang A Million Roses.[115] She said that so many views seemed to indicate that the sound was touching people's hearts. In a word, regardless of winning or being in the top 10, it is a true popular pick .[116]
• It's just a guess, but it appears that he was one of the contestants picked by judge Kyuhyun during the Singer Gain 3 - Unknown Singer competition broadcast. This was seen throughout the broadcast, and when the name was revealed after being decisively eliminated, Kyuhyun was the only one who called Kim Soo-young's name and expressed his regret. Kim Sooyoung~ Don’t go~
• Kim Eana's Starry Night revealed the story behind One Million Roses in the first round of Singer Gain 3, and in fact, it was said that One Million Roses was the song she wanted to sing the most out of all the contest songs .[117] So, even if she sang it as a contest song, she had plans to sing it in the last round, but she ended up singing it in the first round. In the end, they say they are grateful because it has had a tremendous impact on image creation and promotion.
• It looks like he doesn't like dancing very much. At the time of the fan meetup, a fan asked about performing an idol dance during an Instagram event, but he replied that he would not do it, saying, 'I don't think I have a relationship with dance.' Afterwards, while participating in a challenge conducted by an acquaintance, he said that he would no longer dance in the future, and when he appeared on Chungha's Turn Up the Volume to commemorate the release of the EP album <People, Kim Soo-young>, he said that if fans want to sing idol songs during the performance. When asked what he would do when he tried heavy metal while headbanging with a dance cover and a wink vs. leather jacket style coordination every 5 seconds, he said he would rather headbange and challenge heavy metal.
• In September 2024, she became a founding member of AM Withers and became a singer belonging to the same company as Lee Hae-ri , who was a judge at the time she participated in Singer Gain 3 - Unknown Singer Contest .
• He revealed the reason why he took up the bass on stage, saying that when he appeared on the radio and performed "Pierrot Laughs at Us" in the 4th round of Singer Gain 3, he intuitively felt that "I can do this far," and he went on stage with the mindset of challenging himself to show everything he could do.
